my mom is now arranging and photographing still lifes. doesn't post them anywhere, just sends them to me on whatsapp.
i didn't even know this was a hobby you could have
my mom has been watching eastern flower arrangement youtube and sending me pics of her efforts

can't overstate how important it is to have side quests. during grad school, i set myself a side quest of appearing in a film--ended up with tiny parts in two indie movies. the weird thing is, i never asked/applied for those roles. my secret intention was enough to conjure them
